12 Five Below Items To Buy for Your Carry-On Luggage

Five Below is your one-stop shop for travel size toiletries. Not only do these items fit into even the most compact carry-on, they’re all priced low enough to help shoppers save money. 

GOBankingRates reviewed Five Below’s travel care department and pulled our top 12 affordable recommendations for your next flight.

• Price: $3

Need a sleeve of hand wipes for your trip? Pick up Wet Ones hand wipes for just $3. 

Each package includes 20 wipes with a wet lock seal to close and retain freshness when not in use. This comes out to paying about 15 cents per wipe.

• Price: $2

A trio of individually wrapped Kleenex tissues are a must for families on long flights to keep sneezes under control. At $2 per pack, this means Five Below shoppers pay only about 67 cents for each tissue sleeve.

If there’s not much space inside your carry-on, consider swapping out a regular-size or electric toothbrush with a folding travel toothbrush instead. 

These toothbrushes fold up easily to fit in toiletry bags. Hurry though: Just a few colors are still available to shop online.

• Price: $2

Along with buying a folding toothbrush, it’s a good idea to pick up a travel-size Colgate toothpaste. This cheap mini toothpaste is extra handy for carry-on luggage in the event you get food stuck in your teeth during your flight and need to brush before arrival.

• Price: $2

No matter how long or short your flight is, it’s always a good idea to keep a mini deodorant handy to freshen up. Secret deodorant is affordably priced and TSA checkpoint approved at 1.7 ounces.

• Price: $2

For the guys in your traveling party, it never hurts to have Old Spice deodorant handy. At 0.5 ounces, you’ll have no trouble slipping one into your carry-on.

• Price: $2

Heading straight to the hotel after a long day of traveling and don’t want to stop at a drugstore to grab toiletries? You’re covered with Pantene Pro-V shampoo in a conveniently sized 3.38-ounce tube.

• Price: $5

What’s nice about shopping for Vaseline mini lip tubs is they come in a value pack. Each package includes two mini tubs.

• Price: $5

Snooze away a long flight in a weighted eye mask. Only pink, green and blue styles are available to shop, so snag one while they’re still in stock.

• Price: $4

You might stand outside for a bit to book rideshares once your flight arrives and, for those moments, you’ll be glad you packed a travel size sunscreen. The Sun Bum brand is $4 and features SPF 30 to protect skin from harsh UV rays.

• Price: $3

Freshen up your face before arriving at your destination with Clarisse makeup remover towelettes. Each sleeve is filled with 30 towelettes designed for all skin types.

Depending where you shop, pill cases and organizers can cost upward of $7. Not at Five Below, where shoppers can pick up a bubble pill case for just $3 apiece. 

Store all of your prescriptions, vitamins and OTC meds in the pill case’s six compartments and save a little extra room in your carry-on that would have otherwise been occupied by bottles and boxes.
